Chapter 1871: Chapter 1490: Bottleneck (Part 3)
"Humph."
God·Swallower couldn’t be bothered to say more.
....
At five o’clock the day after tomorrow, Su Mo arrived at the training area again on time.
Just as Su Mo was about to turn and head for training, the indicator light inside suddenly dimmed, and the door opened.
Icaroya walked out coldly, directly meeting Su Mo face-to-face.
"Lord Icaroya."
Su Mo hesitated slightly, his heart suddenly raced, quickly greeting her, he hadn’t expected to see her here.
Icaroya City Lord nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked straight outside.
"Phew~"
Seeing Icaroya City Lord leave, Su Mo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He really feared that Icaroya would ask him something, and it would be awkward if he couldn’t answer well.
"Alright, she’s gone, hurry up to train, it’ll get crowded later."
God·Swallower urged.
"Okay!"
Su Mo nodded in response.
....
Twelve days later, Su Mo was still unfailingly arriving at the training area by five o’clock.
The first thing he did upon arrival was take a look at the inner training room.
No surprise, the lights in the inner training room were on, meaning Icaroya was inside training.
Su Mo felt a bit emotional, realizing Icaroya was not only extremely talented but also worked harder than others.
Thinking of this, Su Mo was somewhat moved; what qualification did he have not to work hard?
Before long, the indicator light dimmed.
Icaroya walked out, and Su Mo politely greeted her.
Icaroya nodded indifferently as a reply, seemingly used to Su Mo’s presence, as the two had been running into each other regularly during this period.
After Icaroya left.
Su Mo quickly got on the training equipment, unaware that every time he entered the training state, Icaroya would appear on the observation deck on the second floor, watching his training.
No surprise, when the timer jumped to 1 hour 18 seconds.
Click!
The training equipment abruptly stopped working again.
Icaroya watched this scene, shook her head slightly, and left.
Su Mo, who was ejected, immediately glanced at the timer, feeling a bit disappointed seeing the numbers on it.
"Still haven’t broken through, could this really be the limit?"
This time God·Swallower said to Su Mo:"Haste makes waste, you might as well take the old man’s advice, take a break from training and go rest."
Though Su Mo was unwilling, he really couldn’t help it, he sighed and replied.
"Alright, alright, I’ll go home and rest for a few days, see if I can get into a better state."
.....
Late at night, third floor office of Star Ring City central administration building.
Icaroya sat alone behind the desk, her hands crossed under her chin, her cold gaze fixed on the different images projected in front of her.
Looking closely, all these images were battle records of Mad Eye Rhenhok.
No matter which battle, everything was there.
Icaroya’s cold eyes showed an unusual look.
At this moment, the office door opened.
Goli walked in, she was about to call out to Icaroya but then saw the images of Mad Eye Rhenhok’s battles, looking slightly surprised.
Icaroya also noticed Goli entering; she naturally closed the projected images.
Goli walked in, came before Icaroya, and softly called.
"Sister."
"Hmm, what’s the matter?"
Icaroya asked indifferently.
"Sister, I’m here to bid you farewell. Tomorrow I’m leaving Star Ring City to supervise resource extraction affairs at the front line."
Goli said to Icaroya.
Icaroya was silent for a few seconds, then raised her head and spoke to Goli.
"Be careful when you go, although the Eternal Sleep Clan has been defeated, usually wouldn’t be a threat in the short term, but still be cautious just in case."
"Don’t worry sister, I’ll be careful."
Goli nodded in response.
"Take Crock with you, having him there will make me more at ease."
Icaroya considered for a moment, ultimately deciding to let Goli take Crock along.
Facing Icaroya’s concern, Goli felt warm inside, she replied.
"Thank you sister, but Crock should stay with you, after all, you need staff here too."
"You don’t need to worry about me, most of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights are staying in Star Ring City, the manpower here is ample, that’s settled."
Icaroya remained assertive.
"Alright, then..."
Goli chose not to dwell on it, at this moment she wanted to ask about her sister watching Mad Eye Rhenhok’s images but stopped mid-sentence.
"What’s wrong?"
Icaroya asked coldly.
"Nothing, I’ll be off then."
Goli smiled and replied.
"Go on."
Icaroya nodded slightly in response.
After Goli left, Icaroya didn’t remain at the desk, but stood and walked to the window.
She gazed at Star Ring City under the night sky, the breeze passing by, lifting a strand of her hair.
Whether due to illusion or some other reason, at this moment Icaroya seemed very lonely.
....
The next morning.
The tranquil sunlight fell across the bed.
Su Mo opened his eyes, lazily stretched, and got out of bed.
He headed to the washroom, swiftly freshening up.
Since accepting the reality of not being able to break through for a short time yesterday, Su Mo felt the pressure had lessened.
At this moment, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated.
Bzzz bzzz.
A message popped up.
Su Mo, busy brushing his teeth, glanced at it inadvertently and was startled.
